Amazon.com

With some great track titles ("Drums of Navarone," "One of Our Dholaks Is Missing"), TGU are back again, heavy on the beats, and with the spicy Indian influence stronger than ever in the sound, the bass bumping as heavy as any hip-hop release. Of course, it's not all relentless rhythm--"Spellbound" shows a surprising R&B tinge, while "Pomegranate" takes a side trip to the North African desert, and "Secrets & Distant Dreams" offers exotic Middle Eastern promise. The funk quotient is higher than ever, and all the elements that have constituted the Transglobal sound come together more effortlessly than ever before, making a band that's finally grown into its own skin and reputation, shedding the ethno-techno tag that dogged them for so many years. Like such fellow travelers as Banco de Gaia and Talvin Singh, TGU make music for a utopian one world, where all races, creeds, and colors are represented on the dance floor. --Chris Nickson

HARDIP --------WHERE ARE YOU ????.......2004-08-13

TGUs best release was 100 Nations, no question. I was first introduced to this band by the reviewer here called Hardip, who has exquisite musical taste, so read the man's review and take note. I'm posting this because I have lost touch with him, and would like to find out what he's up to. I haven't heard this cd, because I was disappointed with Rejoice, and I saw TGU at a gig headlined by Banco de Gaia....they were wallpaper..and while I'm at it, I remember being at a festival in Brighton with said Hardip , and he recommended that I (then being somewhat narrow in musical focus) go see Burning Spear instead of Banco de Gaia. Never forgiven you for that mate. Send me an email - johnwillerton@boltblue.com.

World grooves and raves.......2003-12-30

Honestly, the only way I can describe their sound is like a mix of the Canadian rapper Snow, the 70's funk outfit Kool and the Gang, and current rap-soul sweethearts The Black Eyed Peas. Whew!
It gets 4 stars 'cause only 8 songs of 10 are good. The silly love song "Spellbound" is soooo dated. Best cut is the raver "One of Our Dholaks Is Missing."

TGU Still Boss!.......2001-08-03

I can't believe some of the other reviewers here are talking about the same album as me! I always assumed that fans of their music would be musically open minded, but here we have a load of people expecting to hear what came before.

It's a progression, but still sounds recognisably TransGlobal. There's a slightly stronger bhangra influence on some tracks (due to new member Gurjit Sihra?), and some lovely African vocals from Doreen Thobekile Webster, but largely it remains the usual dubby world dance explorations you love 'em for!

I think people overestimate the contribution of The Singer That Shall Not Be Named. She actually only appeared on a handful of tracks on each of the 4 previous "proper" TGU albums. Go and buy her album too if that's what you want!

This release maintains the invention, wit and joy associated with all TGU line ups of the last 10 years. Buy it and listen with an open mind.

The Underground Funk.......2001-05-16

I'm consistently amazed that people rate a band poorly when an album doesn't sound like what they expect it to. None of the reviews posted thus far clearly state how TGU have worked around the absence of Natacha Atlas (sigh -- I do miss her voice on this CD, but there are other pleasures here). The use of sitar is alluring, and the percussion is really first-rate. Vocals -- rather than the Arabic flair we're used to -- have a more African influence shining through. And I love that; I was never under the impression that TGU were supposed to be locked into a particular 'sound' at all, but they were to draw freely around the world. The production on this CD is incredible; the sound is just booming. TGU are still killer to dance to, and I found this to be a worthy addition to their already legendary influence on worldbeat/ethnotrance/ -- ah, screw the labels, you know what I mean.

TGU lose their edge.......2001-04-27

I got an advanced copy of this CD two months ago, and I have been trying to like it since. My conclusion: This is just mediocre!

Being an avid TGU fan since I first listened to 'Psychic Karaoke'in 1997, it seems to me like they just lost their edge over years. 'Psychic Karaoke' was their masterpiece ('International Times' is pretty good too), 'Rejoice Rejoice' was generally good, with a few bad songs like 'Shining Iron Face' and 'Son of Thingdrum'. 'Yes Boss Food Corner' even gets worse, with only a few standout tracks, including 'Pomegranate' and 'Steps Across The Edge'. Their distinct Middle Eastern sound and vocals are almost gone with Natacha Atlas (except 'Pomegranate'), the vocals are not good at all(simply there is nobody to replace Natacha Atlas), and musically they take less risks (may be attributed to the fact that Count Dubulah left the band), they stick to a generic funky ethno-dance sound without the nuances we are used to seeing in TGU music.And the lyrics of 'Spellbound' just made me laugh so hard. TGU have always had very interesting album covers, and this album is no exception.

Hot Texas Music.......2001-11-11

There must be something in the water in Lubbock, Texas, for it has produced an amazing amount of musical legends, like Joe Ely, Jimmie Dale Gilmore, Terry Allen and even Buddy Holly. Now we have RC Banks, a true original. Conway's Corner is Banks' fourth album and his first for the new Austin label Loud House Records. RC Banks handles the vocals and plays guitar, harmonica, accordion and the hammond organ. He's accompanied by Jim Starboard-drums, Mike Robberson-bass, Woody Price-guitars and steel guitar, Dee Lewellen and Bevis Griffin-background vocals, and Booka Michel-percussion. Booka also produced the album and is the founder of Loud House Records.

On Conway's Corner, RC Banks encompasses a number of musical genres including blues, roots rock, cajun and he can slip the odd ballad in as well. Conway's Corner features thirteen original songs from the soulful pen of Banks. The album kicks into gear with the catchy Texas shuffle I Got Love, then it's straight into a bluesy track called Courthouse with a meaty slide playing in the background. The mood changes with Walking On Air, a twangy country number before he slips on the accordion to give you a taste of cajun music on Jenny Jones. Every track on this CD is an absolute gem and one of my many favorites is the slow blues of More Than The World To Me that really tugs on the old heartstrings.

I don't know if I should call this a blues album or an americana album, or maybe I should just stick to Texas Music! Look! Whether you're into blues or whatever DON'T miss out on getting yourself a copy of RC Banks' Conway's Corner. This is definitely one of the best albums I've heard this year.

Album Description

Tired of This Exile is a part of the rich harvest from James Faulkner's musical wanderings along and across the frontiers of Europe and North America. It features songs from his youth in the north of England, Gaelic songs from his lengthy sojourns in the west of Scotland and Ireland, and French-language songs picked up as a graduate student in Quebec.

Tired of this Exile is a truly international effort. Recorded in Switzerland, its appearance in the United States is due to a lucky meeting between James and Bedlam House's Bill Sutton during an Irish seisíun in a pub in Grenoble.

Unabashedly poetic from wistful memory to conditional commentary, Tired of This Exile reflects the unique perspective of an international wanderer. Traditional and modern folk songs are combined with original works in a compilation that changes languages as smoothly as it changes moods.

Not Tired of This Disc.......2005-03-09

I'm generally not a big fan of folk music but this CD is really very good. I bought it on a recommendation of a friend and the first time I listened to it, The Great Train Robbery really struck me as a catchy modern ballad. As I listened more carefully I was drawn to the nuances of the instrumentation on the more traditional music which fuses a wide range of songs with imaginative accompanyment, strong guitar and passionate singing. I'd never hear of this guy before but I hope to hear more soon.

Inspiring..........2004-05-11

I'm sitting at my desk, facing my computer.
Listening to your CD.
Feel like a fish, surrounded by these windows.
Listening to your CD.
Can see the tops of some green leafy trees.
Would even hear the singings of the small birds outside, if there weren't these windows.
Listening to your CD.
The aquarium is even too big for me, too white, too light, much too urban. Too Parisian.
Listening to your CD.
I'm not tired of my exile yet.
Want to go on travelling the world, fly away. But fishes commonly have no wings.
And I stay here inside my aquarium. Comfortably fed by their well-meaning hands.
Listening to your CD.
Get some inspiration but can't write it down right now. Need a better surrounding. We'll see.
So I just stay here, listening to your CD.
And go back to work.

Living in a California patch, I stumbled across Eeyore.......1998-11-23

--------------After a twenty year self -exile from England, living in a California patch, I stumbled across an Eeyore, who being as miserable as me, asked me to hold his tail while he took me into the land of Pooh. Raised in England during World War 2, I was too pre-occupied with other things to have learnt about Pooh...much to my chagrin.

However from the moment Peter opened his mouth, the memories of England came flooding back, and I too realized that Pooh resembled me in many embarrasing ways. Not only did I reconize myself in Pooh, others many many others world wide have too.. ..if we could all be as innocent....

Entering my second childhood in Southern California was indeed a blessing....and we are double blessed that Disney could not BUY Mr.Dennis..... thank you Peter.
